4-Bromooctane is an organic compound classified as a brominated alkane, specifically an octyl halide. Its molecular formula is C8H17Br, indicating it consists of eight carbon atoms, seventeen hydrogen atoms, and one bromine atom. This compound features a straight-chain structure with the bromine atom attached to the fourth carbon in the octane chain, which influences its physical and chemical properties. 4-Bromooctane is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is known for its moderate volatility and solubility in organic solvents, while being less soluble in water due to its hydrophobic nature. It is used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various chemicals. Additionally, 4-Bromooctane can participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions, making it a valuable reagent in synthetic chemistry. However, like many brominated compounds, it should be handled with care due to potential environmental and health impacts associated with halogenated organic compounds.
